    Bought this yesterday(MONDAY) pick it up friday or saturday. Full service history, just had a full service before lockdown(£1200) and a years MOT, just over 15000 miles on clock. It has a small ding in the tank that needs sorting(a good haggle point!). Sorry no bins unless you have an opinion on the mini!!;):)

  12. Depending on how much the ding bugs you, is it really worth it? Imagine paying out hundreds for a tank respray and dinging it again! Having said that, you've got me thinking of colour schemes - yeah, get the whole bike done in some mega scheme!

  14. Beautiful bike!! As far as the ding, I wouldn't want it too perfect, that adds lots of stress.:worried:

  16. Lovely bike Wayne - they just look so good even after all these years.
    I still have my green :scream: 998 Matrix, I advertised it for a while but thinking of using it now unless I can find it a good home before I pay out for the insurance!
    Mate, just a thought on your dent in the tank, a couple of years ago I had a dent in one of my 748's and I sent it to a guy called Andy at Pickering in Yorkshire who specialises in paintless dent removal. When it came back, I honestly could not even find where the dent had been. Absolutely brilliant job, cost about £120 plus postage, not sure if that's something you've considered but would highly recommend them

    And no I'm not on commission, only used them the once but very impressed :cool:
    Cheers

  17. He does amazing works, he's in a village called Middleton - not sure if it was @ducati dad who had some work done recently there :thinkingface: - I have a Busa tank waiting to go when I get round to it. He's better than Uri Geller :bucktooth:

  18. Sweet ride @WAYNE

    Where is the ding? Maybe a dent man can get it out, or slap a gopro mount over it :joy: anything that takes your eye off it :upyeah:

  19. Thanks for the info, i was looking at a Matrix 998 but he just wanted to much!!!!:upyeah:
     
  20. No,i can't wait. The ding is on the top right hand side(It turned out to be a good haggle point)i'll post a pic when i get it!!
    I'll just have to ignore it for now and like you say cover it with something, maybe a snorkel from a land rover and i'll be ok if there is any flooding!!:upyeah::joy::fist:
